How can I get early access to the multi-player portion of the Mass Effect 3 demo coming in January 2012?

•There will also be a tool posted on www.masseffect.com allowing players to check if their EA account has been granted the early access.
•The length of the early access period is TBA.
•The single-player section of the demo will be available to all players on day one of the demo launch

Just replayed ME2 because I was (really) bored. It's pretty, but not as pretty as I remember…and the game play is tedious, which I did remember, but time had blunted that remembrance. "Ah! Have to stay in cover again…lets me try that box shaped rocky outcrop!" uh huh. Lets see if ME3 can inject something new and interesting for single player types. At least a demo will be useful - like couchpotato I tried the DA2 demo, was not impressed, but bought the game anyway. I will play the demo and wait for a range of opinions before I think of buying ME3.
